Resolved - Determine to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling

If your heart is saying, “Yes Lord, I want to fulfill my purpose in this world”… but you sometimes feel like you’re gonna miss it, or it’s too late, or you feel like you’re failing, or you’re afraid you’re gonna mess it all up, this message is for you!  https://www.jamienthompson.com/

From moments of confident direction to seasons of desperate questions in our life, God faithfully leads us—even when it feels like He’s taken a hard right turn. We’re going to talk about trusting God in the wilderness and resisting the temptation to settle for less. The odds are against us, but with steady resolve and an anchored heart, we won’t miss God's plan and purpose in our lives. 

Peace is something we must actively work for. In all relationships—whether in marriage, family, the workplace, or the church—without people who deliberately sow peace amid disagreement, misunderstanding, or conflict, disunity and division are bound to arise. But to those who sow in peace, Jesus gives a promise. Let’s chat about it!

God told us to guard our heart above all else. When our heart is left unprotected it can cause spiritual blindness. Just as a bad eye causes blindness, a bad heart will make one spiritually blind. Jesus said that the pure in heart would see God. What things in our lives could be keeping us from seeing Him? Let's talk about it!

Sometimes we feel that we have the right to be angry, to withhold forgiveness, or hold onto an offense because we were the victim - Someone hurt us, lied to us, violated us, abandoned us, etc. But that is not what Jesus taught, and it was for our own good. Let’s look at the Word together!

To have an appetite is a sign of good health. When we lose our appetite, it's usually a sign that something’s not right. The same is true for the health of our soul. How do we make sure our soul is nourished? How do we fill that empty place that seems to meet us every morning? Listen in and allow the Word to encourage, strengthen, and teach you!

Is God to blame for the trauma or tragedies in your life? Does God will you to mourn? And what does God have to say about power and promotion? Let's look to the Word for answers!

With a world full of yuck, and the challenges and trials in our own lives, how are we supposed to live the abundant, blessed life Jesus promised to us? Jesus did not call us to just survive through our days on earth until He comes and rescues us.  What’s the first step to a life of abundant blessing and true joy? Let’s talk about it!

Sometimes it's hard to see the value of friendships when we've experienced pain and disappointment from them. Do we continue to invest in friendships, or keep a safe distance to protect ourselves from heartache? Let's talk about it!
